Get your hands on Jeff Guttin and Nick Culver's project
Last year, we featured a cool HDA allowing you to mix fire and water in one simulation, developed by Jeff Guttin and Nick Culver for Urban Bradesko's Ultimate Explosions Workshop. The developers have now announced that this solver is free for everyone.
To get the Fluid Combustion HDA, just leave a comment under Nick's post. He will then reach out to you with an example file featuring the solver, along with some explanation videos that are said to contain lots of cool content. This Houdini asset provides art-directable interactions between fluids and fire, offering a complete solution for realistic fluid erosion, evaporation, advection, and the dynamic interplay between water and fire.
Whether you're a seasoned Houdini user or looking to dive in, SideFX has just revealed their schedule for the Everything Procedural Conference, where you can join them in person from April 22-25 in Breda, Netherlands, for in-person masterclasses and HIVE presentations. You'll have the opportunity to learn from Houdini experts as they cover topics like world-building, game prototyping, pipeline optimization, and much more.
